BANDAI 06255 PG GUNDAM RX-78-2 GUN84173 1/60 – plastic assembly model kit

BANDAI 06255 PG GUNDAM RX-78-2 GUN84173 1/60 scale is an exceptional, precisely engineered plastic model kit from the Perfect Grade (PG) series by renowned Japanese manufacturer Bandai. The model depicts the legendary RX-78-2 Gundam mobile suit from the iconic anime series "Mobile Suit Gundam" (機動戦士ガンダム), first aired in Japan in 1979.

The RX-78-2 Gundam is an icon of the Gundam universe and global sci-fi model building. This machine was used by the Earth Federation Forces during the conflict known as the One Year War, a key period in the fictional Universal Century timeline. The RX-78-2 units were "deployed into battle" in the fictional year 0079 UC (corresponding to the late 1970s/early 1980s when the anime originally aired).

• Scale: 1/60 – a perfect compromise between size and level of detail, offering exceptional accuracy in an impressively sized finished set.
• Country of origin (design): Japan – the model replicates the mecha created by Sunrise studio designers for the anime series.
• Material: top-quality plastic (PS, ABS) offering excellent assembly properties and color separation, which often eliminates the need for painting.
• Extras: advanced system of movable joints, LED light-up elements (depending on the set), transparent cockpit details, a rich array of weapons and accessories faithful to the original, and numerous limb posing options.
• Category: plastic assembly model kit (Gunpla Perfect Grade)
• Period of use (original): fictional – during the war of UC 0079, corresponding to the late 20th century (classic sci-fi anime era).

The BANDAI 06255 PG GUNDAM RX-78-2 model is a perfect choice for advanced modelers, Gundam fans, and collectors seeking the highest level of detail and complexity. The thoughtfully designed snap-fit system allows for glue-free assembly, even for those without gluing experience, but the advanced number of parts and moving components makes it primarily recommended for those with intermediate or higher Gunpla experience. Difficulty level: 4/5.

We recommend this model to anyone wishing to create an impressive centerpiece display, those who appreciate advanced plastic engineering, and who expect the premium quality characteristic of Bandai's Perfect Grade series.
